Back back way back I used to front like Angkor Wat

Mechanicsburg Anchorage and Dar es Salaam
Eb Bb/D
While home in New York was champagne and disco
Eb F
Tapes from L.A. slash San Francisco

But actually Oakland and not Alameda

Your girl was in Berkeley with her Communist reader

Mine was entombed within boombox and Walkman

Stale conversation deserves but a bread knife
Bb [ch]Dm/A[/ch]
And punks who would laugh when they saw us together

I can still see them there huddled on Astor

Snow falling slow to the sound of the master

Wisdom's a gift, but you'd trade it for youth
Gm Cm
Age is an honor, it's still not the truth
Eb Bb/D
We saw the stars when they hid from the world
Eb F
You cursed the sun when it stepped to your girl
Bb [ch]Dm/A[/ch]
Maybe she's gone and I can't resurrect her
Gm Cm
The truth is she doesn't need me to protect her
Eb Bb/D
We know the true death, the true way of all flesh
Eb F
Everyone's dying, but girl you're not old yet

The gloves are off, the wisdom teeth are out

What you on about?
